Jesus is standing off to the side away from the sin (can be done to “Bright Eyes” by Kim Carnes). The girl comes on stage and is trying to choose which direction to go in (the sin or Jesus). After thinking briefly, she starts toward the sin. Her caring friend comes out to try and persuade her to go toward Jesus, but the girl ignores her.

She goes over to the sin and embraces them one by one. When she is finished, she goes back to the first sin and takes his hands and starts dancing in a circle. She is smiling, but the sin has no expression. Quickly, the second sin joins hands in the circle of dancing and then the third, fourth, and fifth.

This icebreaker is a simple way to help people introduce facts about themselves.  It's very flexiable and adaptable - and (if you have a sweet tooth) delicious too!  The M&M Game goes by other names:  The Skittles Game, the Candy Game, the Color Game, among other names.

Setup - Pour M&M's or any other multicolor candy into a bowl.  Have everyone in the group grab as much or as little as they like from the bowl.  Make sure that no one eats their candy right away.  Depending on the size of your group it might be best to break up into several smaller groups in order to have the time for everyone to share.

Set Up: All characters in the audience

Two: Hey! Aren’t we supposed to do a skit?

All: (take the stage, yelling and excited) We’re going to do a skit. (Characters speak simultaneously as follows.)

Six: I’m acting---Acting…

One: To be or not to be? That is the question…

Four: (singing) Me, me, me, me… Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain…

Two: I’m such a good actress. I got all-star cast last year…

Five: Well, my director said that I’m the best actor that she’s seen in years. Last year when I played the chicken…

What you'll need:

Photos from magazines, newspapers, the Internet or photos taken by yourself.
You'll need at least one photo for each person.

Directions:

Create groups of 5-7 people or larger.

Mix up the photos, face down and then have each person pick one photo.

Each person has a picture but they cant show it to anyone.

The group then tries to come up with a story from some photos.

It takes a lot of patience and understanding to keep the story going in the direction that the first person started off with.
